College World, 173 THE LAST WALTZ. Under the spell of musics graceful measure,A fair hand resting lightly on my arm, While on her face a radiant smile of pleasureAdds to her beauty its bewitching charm. Whirling away light as the lightest feather Plucked from the nest well lined with eider-down. Sprightly the little feet which wearied neverTill the last echoes of the waltz had flown. She is by far the best of all the dancers. I sit beside her, pass her smelling salts,When up comes Harry (Isnt this my Lancers?) Excuse me please ! Thus ended my last t poetry (notto cast any reflections on its literary style)in the little poem, entitled Practical, whichappeared in our last issue. The unfledgedcollege-boy inflicting himself on the practical,common-sense country-folk is a by no meansuncommon type. Unendurable as he is to hisless-affected fellows, he must be a thousand-fold more so than the hard-handed, hard-minded old farmer who performs his perfunc-tory duties with unshrinking fidelity, norasks aught of the votaries of science. This college student is a much-talked-ofbeing, and even to this enlightened day, sogreat are his absurdities that a cpuite respect-able school of common-sense thinkers unitein condemning college education exclusively does he associate with thoseof his own years that he takes on an artificialcoloring that is inconsistent with his age andsex. He is essentially sui generis; news-paper wags have tried to classify him andhave wasted a good deal of cheap printersink for their pains.
